Administrative Council (Char, Phyllis, Janice, Karen) for about 45 minutes, and

search for a new Dean and the new budget model and, of course, to discuss
these as we are able during the visit. Dr. Jane Kleinert will present a

Donate to UK's C.R.I.S.I.S. ProgramThe C.R.I.S.I.S. Program is in place to
help University of Kentucky staff members that are experiencing personal
hardship.This program provides temporary financial assistance in the form
of a onetime payment of up to five hundred dollars. The program is
self-sustaining through staff and faculty contributions to the program, by
check-only donation or payroll deductions. All donations are
non-tax-deductible and payroll deductions are not pre-tax. This program is a wonderful way to help
our UK community in need. This program though is in crisis itself. Last
year, they were able to help approximately 35 people, but had to turn away
over 75 qualified applicants for lack of funds. Even the smallest donation
of $5 will go a long way to helping others in need. For more information please visit:

People Who Will Change The World, and The Global Achievement Gap: Why

Need—and What We Can Do About It. Global and local business and P-12 and

to succeed in school, college and life. The Summit will
launch new and innovative programs and standards such as Kentucky STEMx
Network and the Next Generation for Civic Readiness - The State Standards
for Social Studies, as well as concluding the Summit with an Education IDEA
